Initiatives

Goal 1

Prepare our most vulnerable students and graduates of 2020-2023 for security and success in the post-pandemic economy

  • Pitt Commons: Early Career Alumni Employment and Networking Community University of Pittsburgh

    Utilizing the Pitt Commons career platform, the Early Career Alumni Employment and Networking Community initiative will expand on existing resources by providing mentorship and networking experience to students from select populations. By facilitating interactions with both alumni and employers, the initiative will empower recent graduates to develop and maintain professional networks and strengthen postgraduate employment opportunities.

Goal 2

Support and partner with our communities and government in an inclusive recovery through and after COVID-19, focusing on displaced workers, adult learners, PK-12 systems, economic development, community health and COVID-19 support

  • The Community Engagement Center University of Pittsburgh

    The Community Engagement Center (CEC) initiative creates long-term, place-based partnerships between select Pittsburgh neighborhoods and the University of Pittsburgh by linking and leveraging the entirety of the university’s engagement assets (research, teaching, service, economic demand), providing specialty facilities to support engagement activities, and implementing engaged scholarship, which produces a wide range of social, educational, and economic outcomes.
